Let There Be Lights

 

The Bedroom

• Designer Larry Laslo made an oversize swing-arm lamp the room's showpiece. It serves two purposes: a reading light for two and general room illumination.
• "I love the idea of one big overhead lamp instead of small sconces on either side of the bed," Laslo says. "The scale of it is great, and it's very dramatic."
• The small lamp on the bedside table (right) provides additional atmospheric and reading light.

Light Sources:
For a plush, high headboard, Larry used Robert Allen's charcoal-colored wool. The linens edged in bright purple (Olatz) and a vintage Leonard scarf pillow (Madeline Weinrib Atelier) add vibrant punches of color and pattern. The swing-arm lamp is from L'Art de Vivre.
